Graphics and Music are amazing, really enjoyed it.

I think it has to do with the walljumping code - I seem to bounce off the walls a lot when I don't mean to. It unfortunately makes the game very difficult to control, but the presentation values from the visuals and music were both very well done!

Loved the style, the idea, the gameplay, and whilst it took me a while to get used to the heavy momentum, it lacks the affordances to enter a real flow state. Accidentally missing wall jumps kills all inertia, either by pulling away too late or too early and just bouncing into a dead freefall.
